The Online Beat: "John Paul II was an early, consistent, passionate and always outspoken critic of the president's scheming to invade Iraq. The Pope went so far as to meet with world leaders who were close to Bush, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, in a high-profile attempt to prevent the war. Finally, the Pope sent a special envoy to Washington -- Cardinal Pio Laghi, who has long been close to the Bush family -- to try and derail the administration's rush to war. "
If Bush and Blair had any respect for the Pope they would have given him attention when he was alive and objecting strongly to what Christians everywhere have called an unjust war.
Hey ho.. Never mind human values
It is a great photo opportunity for leaders failing in their own poularity stakes.
